Today arrived after a well rested night full of sleep, well for me, apparently my sinusitis is causing sleep depravation for My Beloved, shame and welcome to my world. I have lost count of the number of times since we have been sharing a double bed that I have wished for singles. It's not that I don't like sleeping with him, it's the snoring. Snoring with alcohol, snoring with heat, snoring with cold, all manner of snoring really, so the fact that I have deprived him of one nights sleep amuses me no end.
We took a slow Mercedes drive into The Deen for some retail Christmas therapy, then we took ourselves off for our Medical, 1pm was our appointment and 3pm we were finished, I've been poked, prodded, measured and weighed. I've howked up my lungs, and the nurse thought I was dead at one stage. Not my fault the nurse is deaf and couldn't hear my blood pressure, she blamed her stethescope, I blame those pesky vampires. I have the lung capacity of a 32 year old, not bad considering the Lady flu germs swilling around my chest, imagine my age had I been fit. My hearing is fully functional, which means its definitely selective.... But then upstairs to the Doctor, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Rabies, I have a plethora of drugs running through my system, and have to go back next week for the next lot. I have to drink a litre of water!!!! I thought if you had Rabies you avoided the wet stuff. The trouble with drinking plenty of water as we all know is plenty of toilet stops. I really don't know why I just didn't drink it on the toilet, save the effort of pants up, pants down. I knackered with all this extra exercise, especially the trans-abs required to keep the lid on.
Next stop Prezzo, yummy, a litre of water to wash down my beautiful Arrosto Salad. I have been deluding myself all this time, I believed I was being healthy eating my salad leaves with goats cheese and flat bread on the side, with a foccacia on the top. Now most of the time I don't even eat the breads which always look lush, but for gods sakes I wont be eating them again any time soon. I would have been better with the pasta, at least I would have known I was getting my 850 calories worth, instead of being fooled into thinking my rumbling belly was due to the litre of water and not the lack of food. 850 calories of nothingness so not chuffed. Quick exit before I succumbed to the sound of eat me, eat me, desserts.
4.30pm was not the best time to cross town for the airport, but the foot was down, and we crawled as fast as our safety limits would allow. We are now a two car family again, a precious little VW Golf, if you listen you can hear its a golf.......Travelling home was eventful, it's not a Merc that's for sure, but it does have front wheel drive, hooray. I have now figured out that you Do Not Touch the shift thingy with the gate on when stationary, it leads to an automatic stalling, personally I thought this was impossible, but not tonight it wasn't. I have no idea what speed I travelled at because I'm used to a digital reading and so far I can't find the setting button for that, I haven't got time to find the dial thing. And as for the radio, I like to know who is playing, what the song is called, and which Dj is irritating the hell out of me. Nope, I know it's Radio One cos I tuned it, but all my other Mercedes tricks are missing :(
